    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Yeah, I know TNVC will make things right, regardless, but it just sucks to wait some more. My alternative plan if they can't sort it is just trade for credit toward an eCOTI. I really value what the thermal overlay brings to the table for my setup.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Was all this actually useful, or did you find it more cumbersome throughout the night than anything ?

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Can you explain that? Intellectually, I get it, but put me behind the unit. EX: TAD I hold the power button, it comes on, I press the button sequence to go to menu, then I go to the settings for the preset and select desert or arctic or whatever, then the menu goes away, it is what it is. I...

    I don't think eCOTI allows you to do anything different, does it? I have not used one.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    I tend to catch things most companies don't, but this is one of the more glaring examples, yes.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    From what I understand, all this is easily fixable and will be fixed soon. It has better sensor and imagery than the eCOTI, and is much cheaper, so the downside is that it needs to go back to the mothership. This will be an early adopter issue (that gets fixed) and get lost in the noise later.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Still waiting on TNVC to get me squared away. Fixes for the issues (Stuck menu, light pollution from un-centered image when offsets are used, failure to start, and auto-cal failure) are supposed to be on the way.

    Night Vision Germanium sacrificial lens for skeetir

    If and when this gets figured out and done, please let me know, I'd purchase if it is done well and allows to nuc without issues, etc.

    Rifle Scopes How do LPVOs perform in low light?

    I didn't want to do the math, but yeah...and none of that translated to an advantage that I could detect at dusk.

    Rifle Scopes How do LPVOs perform in low light?

    A lot has to do with optics coatings, as well as lens quality and how the magnification is managed (how many lenses) as well as light control within the optic. It's a complex AF answer. For example, my MK6 had a 20mm obj and my K16i had a 24mm obj. In low light, one did not stand out above the...

    Rifle Scopes How do LPVOs perform in low light?

    My NX8 does fine. I can even use it under NVDs with the Wilcox Raid Xe acting as illuminator, although it's rather dim on 8x. The thing with LPVO's, is you can dial to your lighting conditions. I find that 4-5x is best on the NX8 at night. As I recall though, ACOGs are pretty much king at this...

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Yes. Also, I clipped and unclipped it. It did not turn on. I uncapped and recapped the battery, and this fixed it. I then removed it from the mount, on, and it moved about 1/2 a cm before cutting off. Very tolerant of not being fully seated.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    I've noted another quirk with mine, as well. Sometimes it won't turn on unless I remove/replace the battery cap. I have asked Optics 1 about this and will update with their response.

    What is the ideal SHTF optic?

    My Nx8 is quite usable as such.

    Mounts - Gray Ops vs Area 419

    I like it. Make something light and functional like the Reptilia or Badher C1 stuff for AR and I'd be interested. Not that I think you need to, just clarifying where my interest is.

    What is the ideal SHTF optic?

    I can point to countless examples. Surefire warcomp...a comp on a mil gun? Wonder where/why that came about? Vortex and Kahles LPVO's on team guns...wonder how that came about? Many more, but those are just the two most glaring I can think of before bed. Yeah. I grew up near Princeton,LA. I...
